Hi all,
I am looking for a local database that is easily accessible via the command line.
It can be SQL or non-SQL
Whats my use case? I want to use it kinda like a second brain. A place to save my notes, my todo lists, my book reading lists, links / articles to read later, etc.
I want it to be a good CLI citizen so that I can script its commands to create simpler abstractions, rather than writing out the full queries every time.
Maybe sqlite is what I need, but is that ideal for my use case?
Edit: removed notes, as evidently they aren’t suitable for this and aren’t like the rest.
Duckdb has pretty good cli support https://duckdb.org/docs/api/cli/overview.html#non-interactive-usage
Using a database for notes is like going 2km in a plane.
You can use any relational database for this though but why would you subject yourself to this?
Counter-proposal: Perhaps use Obsidian instead?
I wouldn’t recommend a DB for note taking purpose. You can use Markdown with vim.
